You Just Cart Win

I’m working on a register with a line as far back as I can see. A customer comes up and asks:

Customer: “Can I leave my cart here while I run out to my car?”

Me: “Sure.”

I continue working furiously, ringing and bagging, and a few minutes later the guy comes back, except now he’s yelling at me.

Customer: “What the f***! What kind of clown show is this?! My cart has been taken back by another employee! You said you would watch it for me!”

Me: “I never said I would watch it; I said you could leave it there! I’m obviously busy as all h***!”

Customer: “Get me your supervisor, you meatball!”

Yes, he called me a meatball. I page my manager and continue to work through my long line of customers. The customer starts shouting at my supervisor, and they both find his cart next to the customer service desk. 

He gets in my line and then has the audacity to complain about how long he had to wait in line and that I should work faster!
